Established in 1865, Domaine des Comtes Lafon has long stood as one of the finest white wine producers in the world. Based in Meursault, the Lafons make some of the most intensely precise and beautifully textured Burgundies. It’s no surprise that the wines are perennial favorites here at Crush.
When Dominique took over the estate in 1985 from his father René, he immediately began to return control of the vineyards to the Lafons from previous shareholder agreements and soon started to convert the vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices. Over the years, Lafon’s style has evolved from a deeper, richer, and more savory one to being laser focused, stony, and bright. Dominique’s legacy continues with his daughter, Léa, and nephew Pierre, who are now managing the estate.

Allemand Cornas
2006-2022
Allemand Cornas reach a singular level of expressiveness and finesse.
For decades, it's been very clear that Allemand is making some of the greatest wines in the entire northern Rhône.
Today, I'm happy to pay tribute to these incredible examples of the Syrah grape with a list that spans nearly a dozen wines and stretches back to the 2006 vintage.

Red Burgundy: D'Angerville, Bachelet, Dujac, Lafarge, Mugneret-Gibourg, Mugnier, Roumier, Rousseau & More
I'll keep this brief.
There are nearly three dozen red Burgundies.
There's plenty of star power, including Dujac, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, Rousseau, and plenty more.
You'll find everything from Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne-Romanée to magnums of Meo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux.
White Burgundy: Bernard-Bonin, Carillon, Coche-Dury, Colin-Morey, Dauvissat, Guffens-Heynen, Lafon, Leflaive, Raveneau & More
There are nearly 50 white Burgundies on the list below.
In recent weeks, I've had some stunning bottles of Dauvissat and Lafon. Accordingly, I've stacked the list with selections from these producers.
I also included a couple of wines from Guffens-Heynen. Jean-Marie Guffens makes some of the most singular and utterly captivating white Burgundies around. As William Kelley, the astute writer for The Wine Advocate, has said: "Guffens produces some of the most exciting wines in all of Burgundy; whites which unite tension, texture and amplitude in rare harmony." That sums up the wines well.
